Victory for California farmers and ranchers! After strong pushback from our congressional delegation, the Administration reversed course and rescinded the closure of 8 USDA offices across our state, including key outposts that serve producers in CA-19 www.latimes.com/environment/...

The Admin’s proposed cuts to USAID would devastate global health and weaken our alliances. It’s American leadership that has made all the difference for HIV prevention, refugee aid, or climate resilience. I strongly oppose this shortsighted rescission. apnews.com/article/usai...

In an updated analysis of Speaker Johnson’s reconciliation bill, if enacted, would rip health care away from nearly 11 million people to fund tax cuts for billionaires. We’ll keep fighting to protect Medicaid, the ACA, and access to healthcare for those who need it most. thehill.com/policy/healt...

The Admin’s attempt to defund PBS and NPR would undermine connections for rural communities, children's education, and trusted local news. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to protect these vital community services for California’s 19th Congressional District. www.npr.org/2025/06/03/n...

Always great to welcome constituents from California’s 19th Congressional District to your office in DC! Whether you're visiting the Capitol for the first time or returning with family, please stop by the office.

This report details how the Admin delayed a USDA farm trade report because it showed a growing ag trade deficit. This chaotic trade policy simply isn’t working for American farmers or families. We must demand transparency and reassert our authority on trade www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

When a constituent feared she wouldn’t get her passport in time, she reached out to my office, and my team stepped in. Thanks to our quick work, her passport is now on the way. My office is able to help our constituents navigate federal processes and ensure you get what you need.

From wildfires to earthquakes, California depends on smart, forward-thinking investments like the BRIC program. Ending it now puts lives at risk. I’m pushing back and will continue to lead the bipartisan effort to restore this critical program. goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntim...

Hegseth’s plan to rename the USNS Harvey Milk during Pride month is an absolute insult to the LGBTQ community and the spirit of our country. Our military always has honored individuals who’ve served and shaped our nation. Harvey Milk was one of those Americans. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

When a constituent couldn’t get a response from the IRS about her amended tax return, she called my office. I got to work, and within 2 months, her $432,354 refund was released. I’m proud to be there to help constituents cut through red tape and get what they’re owed.

Disaster prone communities will be unable to access the BRIC program due to its cancellation by this Administration. That’s why I lead a bipartisan coalition demanding the restoration of this vital pre-disaster resiliency funding. keyt.com/news/califor...

One of California’s best-kept secrets is getting the recognition it deserves. Proud to see Cambria named one of the most underrated U.S. travel spots. Main Street charm, coastal trails, and proximity to Hearst Castle make this town a true gem of CA-19. www.sfchronicle.com/travel/artic...

I joined my CA colleagues in urging the Administration to reject any effort to eliminate or weaken this vital program. Head Start lifts up 94,000+ CA kids and families each year. www.randomlengthsnews.com/archives/202...

As we begin #PrideMonth, we celebrate the resilience, diversity, and unity of the LGBTQ community. In CA-19, and across the country, we stand strong for equality and dignity.

The Admin’s decision to cancel the BRIC program threatens California's disaster resilience funding by over $1 billion. I led a bipartisan coalition demanding its restoration because investing in resilient infrastructure not only saves money in the long run, but it also saves lives.

I condemn the horrific antisemitic attack in Boulder that left innocent people injured while peacefully calling for the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity. There is no justification for this kind of targeted hate. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

Cliona Ward, a legal permanent resident of Santa Cruz County for 30 years, was nearly deported under this Administration’s immigration policies. Her family reached out to my office, and I went to work.

Hazard mitigation saves lives & saves money for the government in the long run by preventing disasters. My colleagues across the aisle and in the Senate agree. @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov, Rep. David Valadao bit.ly/4dGsR74

160,000 people in CA-19 rely on Medicaid. 1 in 3 are children. 1 in 5 are seniors. Speaker Johnson’s partisan tax bill would devastate them, and 14 million Americans just to pay for giveaways to billionaires.

Past Presidents have used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), but only for sanctions and to freeze assets, never to impose tariffs as this Administration has done. That’s why a federal court just blocked the president’s harmful tariff policies.

Continued progress in our fight for working families, our small businesses, and our economy. A federal court has checked the Administration’s reckless and chaotic use of tariffs, recognizing the balance of power when it comes to trade. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/b...

Highway 1 is a lifeline for our communities, our economy, and our California identity. But it's breaking, again and again. There’s no quick fix and no shortcut. That’s why I’m continuing to push for long-term federal investment to maintain this critical route. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...

Tianeptine, known as “gas station heroin,” is dangerous, addictive, and still being sold over the counter. That’s unacceptable. I reintroduced the bipartisan STAND Against Emerging Opioids Act that would crack down on its sale, prevent the next wave of opioid abuse and better protect our communities

The Majority’s “big beautiful bill” would cut health care, slash nutrition assistance, and add $3.1 trillion to our debt, all to fund tax cuts for billionaires. I voted no during the Majority’s late-night debate in the House.

When a constituent faced bureaucratic hurdles due to recent identity theft, he called my office for help. I worked with the FBI, submitted evidence proving his clean record, and helped him enroll in a program to ensure he doesn’t face similar obstacles in the future.

The SBA is abandoning the very entrepreneurs it was created to serve, cutting staff, slashing support, and turning the next generation of small businesses. In CA-19, small businesses are the backbone of our community. I’m going to keep fighting for them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/b...

Before you book that flight, make sure your passport is ready. Many countries require at least six months of validity to enter. Don’t let an expired passport ruin your trip. Check requirements: travel.state.gov/destination & renew here: travel.state.gov/passport.

Let’s be clear, the Majority’s partisan tax bill was written without Democrats at the table. A multi-trillion dollar package built by backroom deals and party-line votes is no way to make durable policy.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. As a veteran, I carry their memory with me every day, and I will continue working in Congress to ensure we uphold the values they gave their lives to defend.

Trump's tariff threats are shaking our economy and trust in America as a global leader in trade. Governing by bullying and brinkmanship has real costs. That’s why Congress needs to reassert its power on trade, and why I’ll keep pushing for stable, serious trade policy that protects working families

New analysis confirms the Majority’s bill would slash taxes for the wealthy while increasing the deficit by trillions. I opposed this legislation. It’s fiscally irresponsible and fails hardworking families who need real relief, now. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

For over 24 hours straight, we were fighting the Majority’s partisan tax bill that was forced through, literally in the middle of the night. I stayed, I spoke out, and stood firm for working families.

I joined my fellow Dads on the Congressional Dads Caucus to talk about the Majority’s tax bill and stand up for working families in CA-19 and across the country. This bill hands billionaires a massive tax break while cutting $715 billion from healthcare, threatening care for 179,000 in CA-19.

Bond markets are flashing warning signs, and for good reason. The Majority’s tax bill would add trillions to the deficit, driving up borrowing costs and risking long-term economic harm. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/b...
